Right: 4 months on since I last posed (and a LOT longer since I first did)and the flying coat-tails are STILL in Caledonia 2.
PUR-LEASE, for pity's sake!!
OK so here are the full set o' words, so you don't have to take bits out and put bits in: just take the whole thing out and put this in!
(Hokey-Cokey??!!)

It's just over three years since I posted a lot of corrections to songs that I sang with Fairport, but the lyrics are still as they were. Never mind

Hi, Judy and Tattie-
I don't know when the last revision of the Digital Tradition came out - looks like the most recent one was closed in February 2007, and posted in October of that year.

In general, this "attribution/corrections" thread seems to be working pretty well. I compared corrections posted here with the last published edition of the DT, and it seemed that most of the corrections had been made.

The DT used to come out every six months, but I think life got busy for Dick and Susan, the DT editors.

Tattie Bogle (above) posted corrections to Dougie MacLean's "Caledonia," but I disagree with her corrections. Please go to this thread (click) and choose whichever version seems most credible. filename[ CALDONI

There are a number of mistakes in the DT version of Tom Paxton's "Last Thing on My Mind," filename filename[ LASTMIND
You'll find corrected lyrics in this post.

I posted the changes in this thread
Detail.CFM?messages__Message_ID=2239236

and none of the changes have been made to any of the lyrics.
I know it's not vitally important and that the people who update the DT are very busy,but I did take the time to do the alterations and the mistakes in the lyrics have been spread into the wider internet.

I won't mention this again though, (well maybe I will in another three years.... :-))

At risk of repeating myself here, but it seems that what I said before has not been taken on board:
If you care to take the time to watch Dougie himself sing Caledonia on the numerous Youtubes of his live performances, you will see that SOMETIMES he sings SOMETIMES, and SOMETIMES he doesn't!!!!!
I don't think it's crucial whether you have SOMETIMES in or not - leave it on if it makes you feel happier: both versions would therefore seem to me to be equally correct, just as the "kissed the ladies" (early version) is as correct as the "kept on trying" (later version).
The bit that ISN'T correct as John Hill posted here as long ago as 1999, and several of us have done since, is the COAT-TAILS, and THAT definitely needs changing, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING YOU TO CHANGE.

OK, Tattie, but please note that there hasn't been a new edition of the Digital Tradition since February, 2007. If the requested changes don't appear in the next edition, then you might have reason to get all excited and use allcaps and megamultiple posts. Please note that the Digital Tradition editors are not paid for their efforts and do their work as a labor of love while trying to live an actual life.

Caledonia 2 (Dougie Maclean) STILL has "coattails" where it should be "conscience" in v2 - please correct.
(First pointed out in 1999, and remains unaltered).
